Katherine Lincoln Jewelry
Sculptural, hand-carved jewelry crafted in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
From art world jobs to Red Hook studio
Katherine Lincoln Jewelry started in a small Brooklyn apartment, at a jewelers bench made with love by her now husband that slowly turned into a living-room studio.
Over time, the work outgrew that space and moved into a dedicated studio in Red Hook, along the edge of the East River — a neighborhood of makers, docks, big skies and people who don’t mind being a little off the beaten subway path.
Today, the studio is where every piece is sketched, carved, soldered, polished and packed sometimes with the hlep of talented artisans in the NYC Diamond District. It’s also where couples come to talk about engagement rings, where heirloom pieces get reimagined, and where wax dust and metal shavings quietly collect on the workbench — small traces of the lives these pieces will take part in.

Love Notes
— Lilah & Larry, Brooklyn
She made us three perfect, original rings for our engagement and wedding. We found her to be a brilliant mind, an intuitive creative partner with impeccable taste, and a warm, lovely person. The process was an absolute delight — and most compliments on my ring sound something like, “I hate most engagement rings, but I love yours.”

Ancient techniques, modern lives
I love combining semi-precious and precious stones with fine metals, using slow, labor-intensive techniques that have been around far longer than trends. Textures are often built up layer by layer; surfaces are carved, hammered, filed and polished by hand so no two pieces are exactly alike.
On runways, in keepsake boxes
Over the years, my work has appeared in places I never imagined when I was carving at my kitchen table — including features in Vogue, Elle and Style.com for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show “Gilded Angels” look, where models were draped in golden wings and my golden jewelry.
Those moments are exciting, but the heart of the studio lives somewhere quieter: in engagement rings worn every day, in tiny engraved dog tags with a secret meaning, in heirloom stones given a new life on a new hand. Runway pieces are thrilling; keepsake pieces are where the work becomes part of someone’s actual story.

What I hope you feel when you wear it
We live in a time when so many things feel disposable and fast. I want these pieces to be the opposite of that — objects that you choose intentionally, that gather small marks over time and become more beautiful because of them, not in spite of them.
I think of my jewelry as autobiographical adornments: tiny records of who you are and what you’ve lived through — the people you love, the cities you’ve moved through, the chapters you’ve closed and the ones you’re opening. Some pieces are big and sculptural, others are small and quiet, but all of them are made to carry feeling.
When you put on a ring, necklace or cuff from the studio, my hope is that it feels like something that has always belonged to you — even if you just met it.
